Possible Causes
Ice clumped together, Ice frozen in chute, Broken auger or drive coupling, Stripped auger motor shaft
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before reaching into the ice bin or chute.
- Remove ice bin: Pull out the bin and inspect for large clumps of ice. Empty and rinse with warm water, then dry thoroughly.
- Check auger and blades: Ensure the auger turns freely by hand and that blades are not bent or broken.
- Inspect drive coupling: Look at the coupling between the motor and bin; if stripped or cracked, replace the coupling or bin assembly.
- Clear chute: Check the dispenser chute for ice buildup and clear with warm water and a towel.
